You can get some really good antifog stuff. Or use dishwashing liquid on the visor

The best and by far the most expensive fix is a pinlock visor. But you get what you pay for.

Next best is a fog city insert.

Then some anti fog treatment - 'cat crap' to sunlight liquid will be recommended.

Next - Open visor

Finally - hold breath.

My Cat Crap don't work too well.
Neither is my balaclava...
Neither is my Breath Guard...
Your next best option is Fog City insert if you got a nice helmet...or whatever
Pin lock is the most expensive one.

Using open face and sunnies is my solution. And when it rains I stop at the pub.

Are we still talking about visors fogging up?

If so:
Haven't tried pinlock
Fog city didn't stay stuck to the visor for more than 24 hours
used a breath guard with reasonable success, also use a balaclava as well

The other thing is to check your breathing, and your mental state. If nervous, you will breath heavier and faster, hence fog up the visor more. If calm, fogging issue will ease. As for warmth, if you are too warm, yes, you can fog up the visor, should only be an issue when stopped.

If you're physically cold, chuck more gear on, you'll get tired much faster when cold. Core body comes first, then remember main loss of heat is head, hands and toes, so keep them windproof.

Ya just has to be smarter than the installation procedure.
(I get the guys at motomail to install mine.)

use a spot of blue tac to stick a soft moldable earplug to the lower edge opening of the visor hole. This will create a 5 mm opening that will keep air circulating and visor fog free.

I use a polyprop face/neck guard, don't use any 'anti-fog' product on the visor, other than keeping it clean and I don't have fogging issues whatsoever.
Still have a pinlock in its wrapper, that I'll probably never use.

You need a car!....you will look as stoopid as the mormon few on a 3 deg Waikato morning, or Greg Murhpy, but at least you will be warm...:2thumbsup,

I have two cheapie helmets. An older FFM and a LS2. The earlier FFM fogs up real bad, where the LS2 has more space around the nose and mouth area and seems to stay fog free no matter what.

For warmth, you need a warm jacket and pants with plenty of length, polypropylene long pants and polo top, longer-sleeve gloves, polypropylene glove liners and balaclava, and for extended night rights, heated grips and heated jacket liner.

It's also important to be toasty warm BEFORE you get on the bike, or else you are pushing shit uphill with a rake to begin with. ;)

Greg Murhpy
not really fair to compare him to a 12yr old queer is it?


For warmth, you need etc etc etc etc
buy a newspaper - its cheaper and you'll have something to read and/or light a fire with.

so your basically saying.. "give up yr sex life" .

Hell no, just don't wear your helmet to bed or do if that floats your boat. I put the liner back in my jacket this morning and by this afternoon I was trying to squash it back under my seat.

I got a cool thing called a no fog that attaches inside your visor. Works well too as I also wear glasses and the only thing I like fogging those is........................well that would be telling.
